ReSounds: Chopin Edition
”Is there a better way for a classical pianist to flex their talent than through Chopin?

The Polish composer’s Piano Concerto No. 2 serves as the perfect showcase of a musician’s technical and emotional depth, thanks to its matchless emotional depth. For our newest ReSounds edition, we’ve collected three distinct (and amazing) takes on the concerto from some of the most gifted piano players there are. Start watching now to see how Daniel Barenboim, Margarita Höhenrieder, and Arthur Rubinstein each tackle the concerto.”

Spotlight - The Authentic Chopin Sound:

GERALD FENECH reviews Margarita Höhenrieder's recording of the Chopin piano concertos

'This issue is a truly important addition to the composer's discography ...'

Pleyel, Foto: privat

[…] For years, Margarita Höhenrieder was searching for the authentic sound of Chopin's piano works. Which instrument of its time most convincingly reflected Chopin's music? Chopin himself had given the answer in 1831: 'Pleyel's instruments are the non plus ultra!' The choice for the recording therefore fell on a Pleyel fortepiano, built in 1848 in Paris, and expertly restored using historical materials and methods. It is absolutely identical in construction to the instrument that Chopin owned, and thus represents an authentic sound testimony. […]

[…] Margarita Höhenrieder is an avidly passionate advocate of the cause, and her interpretations are not only lyrically arresting and melodically enticing, but her careful recreation of the authentic Chopin sound gives the listener highly interesting insights into music history. […]
